Definitions
- the invention is related generally to conversion and processing of data for display devices and monitors, more specifically, to methods, systems and devices for converting data to drive color displays.
- FIG. 1A schematically illustrates a chromaticity diagram as is known in the art.
- the closed area in a shape of horseshoe represents the chromaticity of colors that can be seen by humans.
- For each chromaticity, described as a point on the two-dimensional plane different levels of brightness are possible, thus constructing a three-dimensional color space.
- the points on the border of the horseshoe, known as the spectrum locus correspond to monochromatic excitations in the range from 400 nm to 780 nm as marked.
- the triangular area enclosed by the color gamut in FIG. 1A represents the range of colors that can be produced by a standard RGB monitor. The area of the color gamut outside the RGB triangle indicates that many colors seen by humans are not discernible on standard monitors.
- Existing display devices can be divided into two groups, namely, direct view devices and projection devices.
- the direct view devices group includes CRT, LCD, LED and other displays.
- each display is composed of three-color sub-pixels, namely RGB, which are physically located at the screen.
- the color image is created by the viewer's visual system, which mentally integrates the colored light arriving from spatially neighboring sub-pixels to give a full color impression.
- the light emission mechanism may be different in the different types of devices.
- a CRT display an electron beam accelerated by a scanning electron gun cause the different color phosphors at the screen to emit visible light.
- LED devices different color LED pixels are directly driven by electric current to emit light. In both cases the strength of the excitation determines the intensity of the emitted light.
- the input data modulates the intensity of the excitation of different pixels to create a desired image.
- color is created by filtering white light through an array of red, green and blue optical filters, which correspond to red, green and blue sub-pixels.
- the transparency of different color is modulated by an array of LC elements, which is placed juxtaposed and in registry with the color filter sub-pixel array.
- the transparency of the LC array cells, which control the intensity of respective sub-pixels, is modulated by controlling the voltage applied to the cells. These voltages are modulated in accordance with the input data to create the desired image.
- Projection display systems create images by projecting light on a viewing screen.
- projection display systems There are generally two types of projection display systems, namely, simultaneous displays and sequential displays.
- simultaneous projection display systems are based on projecting light of all three primaries simultaneously onto to the viewing screen, whereby color combinations are perceived by spatial integration of the colors by the visual system of the viewer.
- sequential projection display systems project separate images of the different primary colors onto the screen sequentially, at a sufficiently high frequency so that the human eye can perceive color combinations by temporal integration of the primary color images.
- Standard video data is typically transferred in YCbCr or RGB related formats.
- the data is encoded, either digitally or analogously. Color is represented in a three-dimensional space suitable for presentation on a three-primaries monitor or display.
- the input data in YCbCr format is translated, using a conversion matrix, to corresponding RGB data. If RGB input data is used the matrix conversion is not required, and the input RGB data is passed directly to the monitor. Signals responsive to the RGB data are used to drive the three-primaries display.
- the RGB data includes R, G and B signal components (channels): the R signal component represents the red primary; the G signal component represents the green primary; and the B signal component represents the blue primary.
- Three multipliers and/or one-dimensional look-up tables, one for each of the RGB channels, are used to adjust color temperature and other responses of the system.
- Certain processes can also be applied to the original YCbCr data, controlling the visual appearance using the YCbCr coordinates.
- the Y channel might be manipulated in order to control the brightness and the contrast of the image.
- the Cb and Cr data can be manipulated to control the color saturation of the final image.
- a user of the display may perform such manipulations and adjustments, e.g., by adjusting the “brightness”, “contrast” and “color” of a display monitor.
- the range of colors that are reproduced by display monitors can be expanded using a monitor with more than three primary colors. It has been demonstrated by the inventors that a monitor with more than three primaries in accordance with the invention produces improved color images, spanning a significantly wider color gamut than that of conventional three-primary display systems.

No. 09/710,895, entitled “Device, System And Method For Electronic True Color Display”, filed Nov. 14, 2000, assigned to the assignee of the present application, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Embodiments of monitors based on more than three primaries are also disclosed in International Application PCT/IL01/00527, entitled “Device, System and Method For Electronic True Color Display,” filed Jun. 7, 2001, and published Dec. 13, 2001 as WO 01/95544, assigned to the assignee of the present application, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. While the methods and systems disclosed in these patent applications may be used in embodiments of the present invention, the system and method of the present invention may also be embodied in conjunction with other n-primary color display technology, wherein n is greater than or equal to three.
- a direct view display system includes more than three sub-pixels within each pixel, for example, more than three different color LEDs (in a LED display), more than three different color phosphors (in a CRT display), or more than three different color filters and respective LCD cells (in an LCD display).

- Embodiments of the system and method of the present invention may receive and manipulate data in formats other than RGB or YCbCr formats.
- Simultaneous projection display systems in accordance with the invention may be based on spatially modulating colored light of more than three primaries and projecting it onto the display screen.
- the spatial modulation can be performed, for example, by a liquid crystal spatial modulator used in conjunction with a source of polarized light.
- the spatial modulation can be performed by a digital micro-mirror device (DMD), such as that available from Texas Instruments (USA), which allows the use of non-polarized light.
- DMD digital micro-mirror device
- Other suitable types of devices for performing spatial modulation may also be used in conjunction with the invention.
- Spatial modulation in accordance with embodiments of the invention may be based on either analog (gray-level) or binary gradations, depending on the type of modulator device being used.
- Nematic liquid crystal modulators such as those available from CRL Opto (United Kingdom), or Kopin Inc. (USA)
- Ferroelectric liquid crystal modulators such as those available from Micropix Technologies (United Kingdom) or LightCasterTM from Displaytech (USA)
- DMD devices are binary devices that do not allow gray-level graduation.
- gray levels may be achieved by controlling the duration of the illumination and/or the intensity of the light incident on the spatial modulator.
- the light received from a white light source is divided into more than three primary color components, using filters or dichroic mirrors or other optical means, and each color channel is spatially modulated according to the image data by a spatial light modulator.
- the different channels are subsequently combined and projected simultaneously on the viewing screen in registry.
- the intensity of light of a given primary color illuminating each pixel is modulated, for example, by controlling the voltage applied to a corresponding LC cell of the spatial light modulator of the given primary color.
- a spatial light modulator as described above is illuminated sequentially by light of more than three different primary colors, whereby the resultant primary color images are projected sequentially onto the viewing screen.
- the primary color images are projected sequentially at a sufficiently high frequency so that a human visual system can temporally integrate the different color images into a full color image.
- the colored light for the different primaries can be created by illuminating the spatial light modulator with white light, sequentially filtered through different color filters placed on a fast rotating wheel, or by a set of light emitting diodes (LEDs) or lasers devices of different colors that sequentially illuminate the spatial light modulator.
- the intensity of illumination for each primary color may be modulated, for example, by controlling the relative duration of the illumination, as in binary type spatial light modulators, or by modifying the intensity of the colored light as in gray-level type spatial light modulators.
- the input data received in YCbCr or RGB or other formats, either digital or analog is converted to values corresponding to the brightness of each of the more-than-three primaries for each of the pixels. These values may be arranged in a number of channels, each channel corresponding to one of the primary colors, and a signal corresponding to a full frame image is loaded onto the display device.
- full frame data for each primary may be loaded to a corresponding spatial light modulator.
- the data for different primary color images may be loaded sequentially to the spatial light modulator, based on a timing signal synchronized with the rate at which sequential primary color illuminations are switched.
- RGB data includes R, G and B signal components (channels): the R signal component represents the red primary; the G signal component represents the green primary; and the B signal component represents the blue primary.
- Three multipliers and/or one-dimensional look-up tables, one for each of the RGB channels, are used to adjust color temperature and other responses of the system.
- Certain processes can also be applied to the original YCbCr data, controlling the appearance using the YCbCr coordinates.
- the Y channel might be manipulated in order to control the brightness and the contrast of the image.
- the Cb and Cr data can be manipulated to control the color saturation of the final image.
- a user of the display may perform such manipulations and adjustments, e.g., by adjusting the “brightness”, “contrast” and “color” of a display monitor.
- the RGB data flow may not be straightforward because the R, G and B signals may not relate directly to the n primaries.
- the standard YCC or RGB data formats must be converted to a format suitable for n-primaries (n>3) display devices. If a video image is to be reproduced, the process of converting the YCC or RGB input data into corresponding n-primaries data should be performed sufficiently fast to run at video speeds. The conversion process should also maintain consistent color reproduction properties, in the sense that an input signal from a source designed for standard RGB monitors would yield a similar appearance regardless of the set of primaries used.
- Embodiments of the system and method of the present invention include several algorithms for transforming three-dimensional RGB data to a format suitable for n-primaries (n>3) displays. Most of the algorithms are based on analyzing the RGB data to find one or more triads of primaries that can represent the data. The values for those primary triads are calculated using matrix multiplication, analogous to the matrix multiplication used for standard RGB displays. In some versions of this method, “artificial primaries” with a pre-defined composition of display primaries are used to create the triads. Some of the methods suggested are colorimetric in the sense that the input data is converted to XYZ or other absolute color spaces before the conversion to display primaries is performed. Other methods merely transform the RGB data to corresponding values of the primaries, without reference to an absolute colorimetric space. In all the methods discussed above, data transformation is linear, i.e., the RGB values are transformed linearly to the corresponding primary values.
- the methods described above may not cover the entire gamut of the n-primary displays for which they are used.
- using a combination of all n primaries should yield better results, in measurable terms, than any combination of three out of the n primaries.
- by using all n primaries in certain regions of the display gamut it is possible to reproduce a higher brightness than with any combination of only three primaries.
- those methods may not provide optimal results.
- input data from a video source 200 is converted by a converter 204 into a format suitable for use in an n-primary display 206 , for example, a wide color gamut display having more than three primary colors.
- the input data may be in YCbCr format and may be processed in the YCbCr format (or equivalent/related formats) until being received by n-primaries converter 204 .
- data in other formats may be accepted and manipulated by the system and method of the invention. This is in contrast to prior systems and methods wherein color data processing algorithms are applied exclusively to RGB data.
- converter 204 receives input data capable of representing wide gamut data, avoiding clipping of data outside the standard RGB color gamut, and converts the data to n-primaries data, where n may be greater than three.
- color enhancement or processing may be performed, allowing control over, for example, hue, saturation and/or brightness, and/or any other desirable aspect, as is known in the art.
- an optional YCC/RGB processing unit 202 is used to manipulate the input data prior to the processing by converter 204 , for example, to control image parameters such as brightness, contrast, tint, and other parameters.
- input data available for presentation on a TV monitor may be stored in an encrypted format, such as an MPEG-2 format or any other suitable digital video format known in the art.
- the video data in, for example, MPEG2 format may include, for example, temporally and spatially compressed YCbCr data, as is known in the art.
- the YCbCr data may include a brightness/color difference representation of RGB signals.
- an MPEG decoder converts the MPEG file or stream to a sequence of YCbCr frames.
- the Y component of the data is at full spatial resolution
- the Cb, Cr components of the data are at a reduced spatial resolution, as is known in the art.
- the Cb and Cr components may be spatially interpolated, using methods known in the art, to obtain decoded YCbCr data at full spatial resolution.
- the Y component represents non-linear gamma-corrected brightness and the Cb, Cr coordinates contain the chroma data.
- the Cb and Cr components are defined by a standard range, for example, the range of 16-240, where zero chroma is mapped to a value of 128, and the mapped values of 16 and 240 correspond to chroma values of ⁇ 0.5 and +0.5, respectively. In alternate embodiments of the invention, other values and other data formats and limits may be used.
- the YCbCr values are typically multiplied by a matrix to convert them to standard RGB data.
- a matrix transformation may be used:
- This matrix transformation is defined for NTSC 1953 primaries with a CIE illuminant C as a white point, and is described in Keith Jack, Video Demystified, 3 rd Edition, LLH Technology Publishing 2001, incorporated herein by reference. It should be noted, however, that this matrix conversion is also suitable for other types of currently available CRT monitors, with primaries and white point different from those of the NTSC 1953 definition.
- R′G′B′ represent a non-linearly transformed RGB values.
- High Definition (HD) TV sets and monitors use different phosphors and a D65 white point reference, and therfore, in the case of High Definition TV, the transformation is as follows:
- the resulting values are typically within a predefined range, typically the range of 16-235, wherein a value of 16 corresponds to zero brightness of a primary and a value of 235 corresponds to the full brightness (“standard white”) of the primary.
- R′G′B′ values lower than 16 correspond to “negative brightness” of the respective primaries and therefore represent “out of gamut” colors.
- R′G′B′ including primary values larger than 235 represent points which are brighter than standard white, for example, image points originating from shining objects.
- FIG. 3 schematically illustrates an exemplary RGB space contained in a YCbCr space.
- the YCbCr color space is much wider than the RGB color space used by current monitors.
- there are many color codes in the YCbCr space which translate to RGB values outside the standard range, e.g., the 16-235 range.
- the YCbCr value [36 111 174] in standard definition TV translates to an RGB value [100 10 7], where both green and blue are below 16, namely negative.
- RGB displays reject RGB values that fall outside of certain ranges; for example, in some systems values outside the 16-235 range may simply be rejected.
- these rejected values can be used by a wide gamut display such as, for example, the displays described in PCT Publication WO 01/95544, entitled “Device, System and Method For Electronic True Color Display,” published Dec. 13, 2001, and in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/710,895 entitled “Device, System And Method For Electronic True Color Display”, filed on Nov. 14, 2000, the disclosures of both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- RGB values may be negative or above the maximum value for standard white, or otherwise out of the useful range of standard RGB monitors. These values are collectively referred to herein as “out-of-range” values.
- out-of-range values in existing 3-primary display systems are clipped, e.g., replaced by the nearest in-range values, because such color combinations have no meaning and cannot be reproduced in the context of such conventional systems, for example, standard RGB based systems.
- the out-of-range values are not clipped; rather, they are further manipulated to extract the color data for reproduction by the wide gamut display.
- the data flow and processing may be handeled in YCbCr format, which is capable of represnting wide gamut information.
- the data may be received in the form of analog YPbPr signals, or any other known analog signal form, whereby the analog signals are first converted to corresponding digital signals before further processing.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic flow chart depicting the flow of data and processing steps in a system and method according to an embodiment of the present invention. These steps may be executed by a combination of hardware and/or software in convereter 204 ( FIG. 2 ), and/or in any other part of the image reproduction and display system being used, taking into consideration specific design requirements. It should be appreciated that, in alternate embodiments, a different sequence of data flow and data processing steps may be used, in accordance with specific system requirements.
- Input data such as DVD or DVB or other data format, is decrypted by a decryption unit 400 to form a corresponding digital video format stream, for example, a MPEG2 stream.
- the video stream is decoded by a MPEG decoder 402 into a sequence of YCbCr data.
- Both the decryption and the MPEG decoding may be performed by hardware components, such as those found in DVD players and DVB set-off boxes, or by software components, such as the DirectX filters available from Microsoft, Inc., U.S.A., or by a combination of software and hardware, as is typically the case in DVD players of personal computers (“PCs”).
- This may be followed by spatial interpolation by an interpolator 404 to increase the resolution of the compressed CbCr data components up to the resolution of the Y data component, as is known in the art.
- various adjustment operations may be performed on the YCbCr data, for example, changing brightness and contrast, e.g., on the Y channel, or increasing saturation, for example, by multiplying the Cb and Cr components by a constant, or by applying one dimensional (“1-D”) look-up-tables (“LUTs”).
- the adjustment operations may be performed at a later stage.
- YCC processor 406 may be implemented using, for example, hardware components, such as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASICs”) adapted for TV applications, for example, the ASICs available from Sony, Philips, Mitsubishi and other manufacturers, or using software components adapted for TV applications as are known in the art, or using any combination of hardware and software suitable for digital video applications, for example, PC video applications.
- ASICs Application Specific Integrated Circuits
- the processed YCbCr data may be converted to non-linear R′G′B′ form, for example, by applying to the data a conversion matrix 408 , as discussed above, which may be be implemented using ASIC components such as those discussed above, or using other means.
- the conversion matrix function can be programmed into a programable gate arrays (FPGA), such as those available from Altera, Xilinx or others, or implemented using a digital signal processor (DSP), such as those available from Texas Instruments (TI), or by analog circuts (e.g., amplifiers, inverters and adders), as are known in the art, which perform equivalent functionality on corresponding analog YPbPr inputs.
- FPGA programable gate arrays
- DSP digital signal processor
- TI Texas Instruments
- analog circuts e.g., amplifiers, inverters and adders
- a degamma module 410 may be used transfrom the non-linear R′G′B′ data into the corresponding linear RGB data.
- the degamma process used may be based on a gamma value of 1/0.45, as demonstarted by the following function table:
- de-gamma process can be performed by a 1-D LUT, which accepts a non-linear input, L′, as an index to a memory table, and retrieves a corresponding linear value, L, from a table box corresponding to index L.
- manipulation at the RGB level may be performed by an RGB processor 412 , for example, using three 1-D LUTs, one for each color.
- the linear (optionally modified) RGB data which typically includes data outside the standard RGB gamut, is transformed into a CIE (Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage) XYZ color space, e.g., using matrix multiplication performed by a multiplication matrix 414 .
- CIE Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage
- XYZ color space
- a multiplication matrix 414 For example, assuming a system with Recommendation ITU-R BT.709-3 (Rec. 709) primaries and assuming D65 white, the conversion from linear RGB to XYZ is given by the following matrix:
- the conversion matrix may be defined by NTSC 1953 primaries as follows:
- the output multiplication matrix 414 is converted into signals driving the specific n-primaries display, for example, using a separator 416 , described in more detail below, which may or may not be an intergral part of a display system designed and constructed in accordance with an embodiment of present invention.
- a set of RGB primaries and white point that yield an even wider color gamut may be used as reference to the RGB values, for example, RGB primaries at the edge of the chromaticity curve may be used as reference.
- RGB primaries at the edge of the chromaticity curve may be used as reference.
- the wide gamut display can be utilized to reproduce all or most of the color data available, with little or no clipping and without significant limitation.
- non-linear YCbCr data is converted to linear YCbCr, and the linear YCbCr data is used as wide gamut data.
- the linear YCbCr data may be referenced to a predefined set of primaries, which are used as a colorimetric reference space.
- conversion matrix 408 the functions of conversion matrix 408 , RGB processor 412 , and multiplication matrix 414 may be eliminated, whereby the output of YCC processor 406 is received directly by de-gamma module 410 and the output of de-gamma module 410 may be received directly by n-primaries separator 416 .
- non-linear ROB data is fed directly into the CRT electron guns of the display. Therefore, in CRT systems, the physics of the electron guns and their resultant phosphors emissions determine the parameters of conversion of the RGB values into visible color.
- the non-linear RGB data is processed by a gamma module, which includes correction for Liquid Crystal (LC) voltage.
- the color data is not converted to XYZ format, as described above, and the RGB values are converted to visible color after being fed directly into the RGB pixels.
- Such direct feeding, absent additional processing as described herein, may not be suitable for n-primaries display systems, wherein n>3, because the RGB data represents only three primaries and cannot be fed directly to all the n (n>3) primaries of the wide gamut display.
- the methods described herein may be used to convert any known format of input data into a YCC or RGB data format, or other suitable format, that may be used as input to n-primaries separator 416 . While some of the steps of the method of the invention may be implemented by suitable adaptation of components used in display devices, other steps of the methods of the invention may be embodied in components of other parts of the reproduction chain, e.g., in DVD players, set-off boxes for DVB, or any other device used in conjunction with a specific type of display system. In general, the invention does not require fundamental hardware changes to existing displays; however, certain aspects of some embodiments of the invention, such as expansion of the color gamut of the input data, may require additional software and/or hardware adaptation of the image reproduction and display system being used.
- a functionality of increasing color saturation may be achieved by manipulating the data at the YCbCr level, as well as by referencing the data being processed to RGB reference points defining a color gamut larger than gamut defined by the standard set, e.g., the Rec. 709 RGB reference set.
- the three-dimensional (three-primary) color space (e.g., YCbCr, XYZ or other) can be converted to a corresponding n-primaries space in various ways.
- a straightforward conversion from the three-dimensional color space to more-than-three primaries format is possible, but requires intense computation. Therefore, it is desirable to lower the amount of time required for such computations.
- One method of reducing computation time includes mapping the color data to the n-primaries data using a “dense” look-up table, which stores a set of n-primaries values for each set of values in the triad input format, e.g., XYZ, YCbCr, or any other input triad format.
- the color data is typically stored in bit-sequence format, e.g., an eight-bit format
- a look-up table may require a prohibitively large amount of memory.
- An embodiment of the system and method of the present invention enables a reduction of the three-dimensional conversion computation into a two-dimensional computation, thus considerably reducing the amount of memory required for the look-up-table.
- the seemingly inherent problem of requiring either a highly memory-consuming look-up table or a highly time-consuming computation process is resolved by implementing an efficient combination of a reasonably sized look-up table coupled with a reduced-complexity computation process.
- the processing and look-up functions may be executed by known hardware and/or software components, such as a graphics processor, graphics card, microprocessor and memory, or other known components. While in one embodiment the look up function is performed before the processing function, they may be performed in different orders or in parallel.
- a processor or data converter which is part of a display system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- a processor or data converter may be any conventional data processing device, such as a microprocessor, “computer on a chip,” or graphics processor.
- embodiments of the invention, as described herein can be implemented using dedicated ASICs with internal memory.
- embodiments of the invention can be implemented using, for example, a controller that controls data extraction from external memory devices, as are known in the art, that store the different LUTs.
- the algorithms can be implemented using programmable gate arrays (FPGA), such as those available form Altera, Xilinx or others, or using any other combinations of hardware and/or software known in the art that are suitable for executing these algorithms.
- FPGA programmable gate arrays
- Embodiments of the method of the present invention may use n+1 two-dimensional look-up tables, each of which has a predefined size, for example, 256 2 ⁇ 8 bit, assuming an 8 bit resolution for indexing and output.
- the total amount of memory that would be required to execute the method is (n+1)*256 2 Bytes, which roughly equals 64*(n+1) kB.
- Other suitable methods of arranging and storing the data may also be used in conjunction with the invention.
- FIG. 5A schematically illustrates a two dimensional sub-space of the three-dimensional color space mapped, for example, to a 256 ⁇ 256 grid, i.e., 8-bits for each coordinate in the two-dimensional space.
- a specific set of coefficients of the n-primaries used by the monitor is pre-calculated, as well as a value for a third, scaleable coordinate of the color space, which corresponds to the specific combination of primary coefficients.
- n+1 look-up-tables (LUTs) 503 including one LUT 511 for the scaleable third coordinate and n LUTs 513 for the n primaries, respectively, at entries corresponding to the grid point representing the specific color combination.
- each point in the two-dimensional color sub-space is defined by two parameters, which are reconstructed using n-primaries (preferably, n>3). Because the number of possible combinations of the sets of coefficients is infinite, additional constraints may be necessary in order to determine appropriate combinations. Such constraints may be dependent on the specific system design and its intended application. It should be noted, however, that the choice of the two-dimensional color sub-space is not arbitrary and certain constraints may be invalid, e.g., constraints that do not allow straightforward scalability of the third color component. For example, a chromaticity diagram may be selected as a valid two-dimensional sub-space for presenting specific color combinations within a known spectrum.
- the scaleable third color coordinate can be measured in terms of brightness, and specific coefficients may be calculated to achieve an optimal spectral match.
- Other examples are detailed below. It should be appreciated, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific designs and constraints of the color sub-spaces described herein.
- FIG. 5B schematically illustrates data flow in the n-primaries separator 416 of FIG. 4 .
- Input data in YCbCr or XYZ format, is received by a mapping module 501 , which calculates the two-dimensional sub-space color indices as well as the third, scaling, component, denoted T d .
- the indices are received as input by the n+1 LUTs 503 discussed above, and are used to retrieve the information stored at corresponding locations in LUTs 503 .
- the data for scaling component, T d , and the stored value for the third, scaleable coordinate, denoted T s which is retrieved from third component LUT 511 ( FIG. 5A ), are received by a scaling unit 505 .
- the resulting, scaled value, T is provided as input to a normalizing module 507 , which also receives as input the n primary coefficient values, a 1 . . . a n , retrieved from LUTs 513 ( FIG. 5A ). Using those inputs, normalizing module 507 computes the values, a 1 ′ . . . a n ′, sent to the display.
- data in linear YCbCr form is transformed to Hue, Y (luminance) and Saturation (“HYS”) space, as follows:
- a predetermined bias e.g., a 128 bias (assuming a standard 8-bit format wherein zero chromaticity values for Cb and Cr are situated at binary code 128)
- S is defined by the magnitude of the given position, normalized to the value of Y.
- the hue and the saturation values may be defined based on a XYZ space, by converting them to Lu*v* and deriving the hue and saturation using computations known in the art.
- the XYZ data can be mapped directly to an u′-v′ space, or other space, using a suitable projecting transformation, as is known in the art, wherein u′ and v′ can be used to calculate saturation and hue, as is known in the art.
- Another possibility is to define the Hue and Saturation based on the dominant wavelength and purity of each color combination after the XYZ data is projected on a x-y chromaticity plane. Any other suitable methods for calculating saturation and hue, as are known in the art, may also be used in conjunction with the present invention.
- the HYS three-dimensional color space is divided into two parts, namely, a two-dimensional H-Y sub-space, and S as a third, scaleable, dimension.
- the H-Y sub-space may be mapped to a 256 ⁇ 256 grid, i.e., 8-bits for each coordinate in the two-dimensional sub-space.

- the H and Y coordinates are used as indices to n+1 two-dimensional look-up-tables 603 , which may include a specifically adapted implementation of LUTs 503 in FIG. 5B .
- the appropriate set of pre-calculated coefficients a 1 . . .
- a gray-level value at the required level of brightness Y is calculated by multiplying Y by the predefined set of white point coefficients w 1 . . . w n using a multiplier unit 606 , and scaling the result based on the most saturated color at the same H and Y value given by the retrieved combination a 1 . . . a n .
- a scaling parameter, defined by the ratio S/S o may be calculated by a scaling unit 605 , which may include a specifically adapted implementation of scaling unit 505 in FIG. 5B .
- a normalizing unit 607 multiplies the values of a 1 . . .
- a n corresponding to the most saturated color at the specific hue and brightness level of each pixel by S/S o , which represents the required saturation for that pixel, thereby normalizing the a 1 . . . a n values to values representing the required saturation for that pixel.
- An addition unit 608 adds to the normalized values a fraction (1 ⁇ S/S o ) of gray-level signal at the same level of brightness Y.
- the resultant adjusted coefficients, a′ 1 . . . a′ n provided as input to the n-primary display, are thus computed as follows:
- An advantage of this method of processing is that the Y component remains unchanged. Therefore, the luminance data of the image is the same as in a corresponding gray level representation of the image. Further, the fact that saturation S is inherently lower than maximum saturation S o (i.e., S/S o ⁇ 1) ensures that all input data is properly mapped to a valid device output.
- the saturation of different color values may be modified by applying a 1-D LUT to saturation S.
- FIG. 7 schematically illustrates a further embodiment of the system and method of the invention, wherein a x-y chromaticity sub-space (or other equivalent sub-space, e.g., r-g, u′-v′ or Cr/Y-Cb/Y sub-spaces) is used as the two-dimensional sub-space.
- the third, scaleable dimension in this case is the brightness level, Y, and the x-y chromaticity sub-space is mapped to a predefined grid, for example, a 256 ⁇ 256 grid, based on 8-bits for each coordinate in the two-dimensional chromaticity space.

- Various constraints may be applied to determine a specific combination of n-primaries (preferably, n>3), the color of which corresponds to the color of the point on the chromaticity grid.
- the set of coefficients is calculated to yield an optimal spectral match.
- the set of coefficients is calculated to yield the highest brightness for the resulting color.
- the set of coefficients is calculated to yield optimal dynamic range for the resulting color. Any other suitable constraints may be applied in accordance with specific system requirements.

- the XYZ data is mapped on the x-y (or u′-v′ or other) chromaticity sub-space using a mapping unit 701 , which may include a specifically adapted implementation of unit 501 in FIG. 5B ).
- the mapping may be performed on a Cr/Y-Cb/Y sub-space, in which case the YCbCr data is directly converted to the sub-space, obviating the need for XYZ conversion.
- RGB data input may be mapped on a r-g sub-space, wherein the RGB data may be directly converted to the r-g sub-space as follows:
- the x-y (or u′-v′ or Cb/Y—Cr/Y or other) coordinates, each of which may be represented by an 8-bit sequence, are used as indices to n+1 look-up tables 703 , analogous to the LUTs 503 discussed above with reference to FIG. 5B .
- a divider unit 705 which may include a specifically adapted implementation of unit 505 in FIG. 5B , divides the Y value (scaling component) of each coordinate pair (pixel) of the incoming signal by the corresponding Y o value (scaleable coordinate) of the same coordinate pair, which value may be retrieved from a corresponding look-up-table.
- multiplier 707 may include a specifically adapted implementation of normalizing unit 507 in FIG. 5B .
- Other processing steps and/or a different sequence of steps may be used in conjunction with embodiments of the invention, depending on specific design requirements.
- the conversion process may be modified in different manners to obtain a desirable balance between the computation complexity and the size and number of look-up tables being used.
- various operations such as multiplication and division
- LUTs that contain corresponding multiplication or division tables
- the multiplication or division calculations can be executed by retrieving data from the LUTs.
- the values stored in the LUTs may be replaced by logarithmic equivalents of those values, or the values in the LUTs may be converted to logarithmic equivalents using one-dimensional L UTs, as is known in the art. This may allow replacement of the relatively costly division/multiplication operations with less-costly subtraction/addition operations, respectively.
- Reverse-logarithmic functions which can be implemented using one-dimensional LUTs, may then be applied to the resultant values, thereby translating the results back to the desired non-logarithmic form.
- the indices to the look-up-tables and the additional constraints may be defined in terms of the absolute additive color space being used, for example, the two dimensional H-Y color sub-space described above, with S as the third color component.

- the white point color which is an additive mixture of all the primaries, is given by:
- Xw, Yw, and Zw are the colorimetric XYZ coordinates of the white point.
- the w i 's in the above formula are the coefficients of the linear combination, i.e., relative weights of the different primaries, and are thus in the range of 0-1.
- an embodiment of the method of the invention may determine the appropriate w i coefficients using various techniques, for example, by linear programming using Lagrange multipliers for the equality constraints.
- the two-dimensional color sub-space used may be a chromaticity space (e.g. x-y, u-v, or other), and the additional, scaleable, coordinate is the brightness level Y.
- the n+1 LUTs contains the combination of display primaries that yields maximum brightness, with the required chromaticity, as well as the value of the maximum brightness.
- This technique of “filling-in” the LUTs is analogous to the technique described above for calculating the white point; however, in this case the technique is applied to a color (color mixture) whose chromaticity corresponds to a point on the chromaticity space (grid). The calculation also yields the parameter of maximum brightness, Y o , for each point.
- An embodiment of the method of the invention may also include determining an optimal spectral match, as follows.

- the pre-defined brightness level for that point is also kept in a LUT.
- the third color component in the data stream, that of the brightness, is used to normalize the a 1 . . . a n coefficients to the required brigthness level.
- the values a 1 . . . a n that yield an optimal spectral match may be calculated as follows. In one step, a relationship is defined between a possible input datum (e.g., a triad of values) and a respective spectrum. In a second step, the method calculates the values of the display primaries that yield an optimal spectral match.
- a possible input datum e.g., a triad of values
- An additive combination of the primaries spectra ⁇ i ( ⁇ ) is given by:
- ⁇ ( ⁇ ) is the spectrum created by the multi-primary display
- ⁇ i ( ⁇ ) is the spectra of the display primaries.
- the value ⁇ is measured in, for example, discrete units from the range ⁇ min ⁇ max and therefore, the continuous functions E and p can be repalced by m-dimensional vectors as follows:
- ⁇ is an n*m matrix containing the m-dimensional vectors representing the spectra of the n primaries.
- the method of the invention computes a solution for coefficients a 1 . . . a n .
- a spectrum ⁇ ( ⁇ ) such as its brightness is maximal, the n+1 LUTs can be created.
- an RGB triad with maximal brightness is calculated, from which the densities are estimated and the spectrum ⁇ ( ⁇ ) is evaluated.
- each grid point is associated with n respective values for the n primaries, as well as a respective value for the third, scaleable, coordinate.
- These values may be stored in n+1 two-dimensional look-up tables, n tables for the coefficients a 1 , . . . a n, and one for the respective third coordinate.
- Other methods of storing the data may be used in conjunction with the invention, depending on the specific organizational schemes and formats used by the system.
- FIG. 8A schematically illustrates data manipulation in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, wherein two-dimensional look-up-tables (LUTs) are used to manipulate data for the n-primaries display, instead of the one-dimensional LUTs described above.
- FIG. 8B schematically illustrates manipulation of indices on a chromaticity diagram, in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 8A .
- An advantage of the two-dimensional LUTs manipulation method in accordance with this embodiment of the invention, is that the method allows for two-dimensional color manipulation, in contrast to the exclusively one-dimensional manipulation performed by existing video and graphic boards using one-dimensional LUTs.
- input color indices (coordinates), h i , g i (e.g., x i , y i in the x-y chromaticity plane), can be manipulated to provide new indices, h o , g o (e.g., x o, y o in the x-y chromaticity plane), which represent a new position (color) on the chromaticity plane, as shown schematically in the chromaticity diagram of FIG. 8B .
- This manipulation may be performed by a manipulation unit 800 , as illustrated schematically in FIG. 8A .
- the new indices may be used instead of the original indices as inputs to the n+1 two-dimensional LUTs in FIG. 5B .
- manipulation unit 800 may be placed, for example, between the mapping unit 501 and the n+1 LUTs 503 of FIG. 5B .
- An embodiment of the method of the invention allows further color manipulation in the chromaticity plane.
- the input chromaticity coordinates e.g., (x,y)
- such manipulation enables increasing saturation only for predefined hue values while reducing saturation for other hue values.
- the saturation and hue values can be adjusted as desired in any predefined region of the color space by applying specific functions. Similar processes may be used to manipulate or modify the signals in the H-Y space or other spaces, for example, the brightness of certain hue values may be increased while decreasing the brightness other hue values.

wherein H is defined by the angle of a given position in the Cb—Cr plane relative to an origin, which may be set at Cb,Cr=0, typically after removing a predetermined bias, e.g., a 128 bias (assuming a standard 8-bit format wherein zero chromaticity values for Cb and Cr are situated at binary code 128), and S is defined by the magnitude of the given position, normalized to the value of Y. Alternatively, the hue and the saturation values may be defined based on a XYZ space, by converting them to Lu*v* and deriving the hue and saturation using computations known in the art. Alternatively, the XYZ data can be mapped directly to an u′-v′ space, or other space, using a suitable projecting transformation, as is known in the art, wherein u′ and v′ can be used to calculate saturation and hue, as is known in the art. Another possibility is to define the Hue and Saturation based on the dominant wavelength and purity of each color combination after the XYZ data is projected on a x-y chromaticity plane. Any other suitable methods for calculating saturation and hue, as are known in the art, may also be used in conjunction with the present invention.
wherein the color of the additive mixture is denoted by the subscript “c” and the primaries are denoted by the subscript “i” (i=1 . . . n). The ai's are the coefficients of the linear combination defining the color mixture. In practice, the values of the ai coefficients are in the range of 0-1. If the primary colors are defined in terms of their spectra, additive combination may be computed as follows:
wherein Ψ is the specific spectrum to be reproduced and φi are the primaries spectra.
Under the constraints that 0 ? ai ? 1, and that the ai's fulfill the above equations for tan(H) and Y, the equations for tan(H) and Y can be rewritten as follows:
wherein xw yw and zw denote the chromaticity values of the white point.
This equation may be re-written as follows:
(representing maximum brightness), and at the same time fulfill the following constraints:
Ψ(λ)=I(λ)·T(λ)
T(λ)=10−D
Q=∫Ψ(λ)f Q(λ)dλ Q=R, G, B
wherein αc, αM, αY are absorbance curves for the complementary primaries, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, respectively, which produce the RGB colors by subtractive color creation, as is known in the art; DR, DG, and DB, respectively, denote the color densities of R, G and B, respectively; and fQ denotes weighting functions for R, G, and B, respectively.
(r,g,b)=(r,g,1−r−g)
All colors (R,G,B)=C*(r,g,b)
wherein C is a constant have the same chromaticity coordinates (remember the definition of chromaticity r=R/(R+G+B) etc.) The maximum brightness is computed as follows:
(R,G,B)=(r,g,b)/max(r,g,b)
assuming that the maximum value allowed for R, G, and B is one; otherwise the corresponding factor should be entered. From the RGB values, a spectrum ψ(λ) may be computed. An additive combination of the primaries spectra φi(λ) is given by:
wherein Φ is an n*m matrix containing the m-dimensional vectors representing the spectra of the n primaries. Multiplying from the left by Φ we obtain:
Φ{right arrow over (Ξ)}=(ΦΦ+){right arrow over (a)} {right arrow over (a)}=(ΦΦ+)−Φ{right arrow over (Ξ)}
using the fact the ΦΦ+ is a square n*n matrix. By setting Ξ=Ψ, where Ψ is the required spectrum, the method of the invention computes a solution for coefficients a1 . . . an. By choosing for each set of chromaticity coordinates (r,g) a spectrum ψ(λ) such as its brightness is maximal, the n+1 LUTs can be created. As discussed above, starting from the (r,g) coordinates, an RGB triad with maximal brightness is calculated, from which the densities are estimated and the spectrum ψ(λ) is evaluated.
